Readers Write: Diet or not, enjoy ice cream at Hildebrandt’s

The Island Now

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream.  

Take a day off from worrying about cholesterol, triglycerides and your weight.  Treat yourself and go to your favorite local ice cream parlor and order a banana split. 

Many Great Neck, New Hyde Park, Herricks, Alberston, Williston Park, Garden City, Mineola, Manhasset and Roslyn residents along with other nearby communities frequent Hildebrandt’s on Hillside Avenue in Williston Park for our favorite ice cream treats. 

They even offer a regular menu of great hamburgers, fries, various chicken dishes and other treats. Make sure you leave room for dessert!  Monday, Aug. 25 is National Banana Split Day. 

Why not have an all ice cream diner?  Enjoy a couple of scopes of your favorite ice cream.  

Add some bananas, hot fudge, whipped cream, cherries and other toppings.  

It will put a smile on your face and bring back childhood memories of when you frequented Jahns Ice Cream Parlor or another favorite ice cream emporium such as Hildebrandt’s.
